One Summer Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Started out last night, I was thinking of days gone by
Of the times I've had and the things that I've left behind
Some change, some die, still we manage to survive
It's knowing when and what to do, it's up to you
Don't know what's going on, I can't wait 'til

[Chorus]
One summer, I'll find a way
One summer will always remain
One summer, remember the way

[Verse 2]
Hauled down, turned around, find myself facing the wall
I think back to school, it's all the same, slightly different rules
Outside on your own, watch yourself 'cause you're all alone
I know what's going on, I can't wait 'til

[Chorus]
One summer, I'll find a way
One summer will always remain
One summer, remember the way
One summer, never the same

[Verse 3]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I think back not far, driving down the beach in my car
Another place, same time, Icky runs along a fine line
Down there, no chance, he's trapped in a different romance
His life a fait accompli, he never did see
[Chorus]
One summer, I'll find a way
One summer will always remain
One summer, remember the way
One summer, never the same
One summer, I'll find a way
One summer will always remain
One summer, remember the way
One summer, I'll find a way
One summer will always remain

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
